Pizza Night: Pizza Dough Recipe & Waverly Plate Giveaway

**GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED**
Every Sunday night growing up, my mom would set the table in our colorful plastic tableware in preparation for pizza night.  Homemade pizza is a long-standing tradition in my family that I love sharing with my own kiddos.
A special meal in all it’s simplicity deserves a special, yet simple tablescape.

Who says paper products can’t be beautiful and special?

Waverly gave me some of their new paper products to test out and I love them!  They can be found at Walmart.

Durable, beautiful, and disposable for a quick, easy dinner night!

To have your own pizza nights, it’s so simple you’ll be wondering why you’ve been paying for pizza all this time!

Recipe:
1 packet yeast
1 Cup warm water
4 Cups of flour
1-1 1/2 C more water
1 t salt
2 t sugar
1 T olive oil

Blend yeast and 1 cup of warm water in Cuisinart or mixer and leave it for 10 minutes.

These Dominos pizza pans are awesome!  They were made in the 80’s, and I was able to find some new ones off of ebay.  They are the same exact pans that my mom uses :).  I bought enough for my sisters for Christmas and I’ve seriously never seen them happier with a present!

Oil your pans and prepare your toppings while you wait for your yeast to get all yeasty.

Then mix in the rest of your dry ingredients.

Turn your mixer on and slowly add your water until the dough balls up together and starts bouncing around your mixer.  The amount of water will vary each time so watch it and see if it starts collecting into a ball and getting bouncy.  If not, add a bit more water.  Bounce it around for awhile. It should look a bit like this when done.

Transfer your dough into a well oiled bowl (put a couple tablespoons of olive oil in the bottom of your bowl and roll your dough ball around in it), cover and let it rise until it doubles in size (about 30 mins).  Once risen, divide your dough into two pans and push your dough into your oiled pans.  Cover with your favorite sauce (I just use Prego original spaghetti sauce), place on your cheese and favorite toppings and pop them into the oven.

 Bake at 350* for 25 minutes or until they look all bubbly and brown on the edges.

Then watch your family enjoy!

Waverly has given me some coupons for one of you to receive three paper products of your choice FREE.  Just leave me a comment.  And here is a coupon for the rest of you here.  Happy pizza night!

  59. I adore those Waverly plates and patterns. I hope I win!

    Your pizza pan is awesome! I've never seen anything like it. We like to make our own pizza but I usually buy the crust. I should get motivated and make a crust since it is so easy.

  61. What pretty plates!! We had a large homemade pizza party right before Christmas. These would have been nice to have. I used real plates and clean up was a chore. Thanks for the giveaway!!!

  62. Awesome! Love that pattern on the plates and napkins! We used to make homemade pizza every Friday…seeing this post makes me want to go back to doing that!

  71. How beautiful! Makes a meal an event. And you make pizza making look so easy. I love a weekly plan – something to look forward to.

  72. I made pizza dough for the first time ever tonight. Not exactly a success, though it is the first time a yeast dough has ever risen properly for me. The flavour was thte problem this time. I'll have to try your recipe next time.

    I love the waverly plates and napkins…so pretty!

  73. Thanks for the recipe. I have always wanted to do a pizza night, hubby's family had a pizza night on Friday night when he was a child. I think i will give it a try and surprise him.

  74. These plates and napkins sure are pretty! I'm going to have to go and check out our WalMart's and see what patterns and designs they might have…

    Blessings,
    ~Lynn

  75. Such a great tradition! The table setting is lovely. I never would have guessed the plates were paper from the pictures!

    Hugs,
    Sherry

  86. Beth, Your family is so darn cute!! Our nest is empty now. When our kids were little like your precious ones… we had pizza on Friday night. We called it "Party Night" and watched TGIF! (remember TGIF?) I plan to start the tradition back up again for my grand kids some day… Love the Waverly… Could be fun to take to Whistler…but the boys chowing down the pie is the real winner! *Lynne*

  87. WE LOVE homemade pizza around here too! What a cute post, and your photos are getting so gorgeous girl. Nice job! 🙂

  88. What a great idea to use "real" Dominoes pizza pans! Your table looks great- wouldn't have known it was paper if you didn't say so!

  90. Waverly–SO pretty! How fun that you got some nice stuff! Your pizza turned out perfectly! Mine would have been all whacky and burnt. Looks so yummmy!

  91. They're super cute! They would be perfect for a casual get-together…especially since we don't have a dishwasher!!

  92. I love these! I used them for our Christmas morning breakfast. I think I would love them even more if they were free 🙂

  94. I would love the waverly products and dominoes pans…. hmm, I might have to look for those – the pizza does look yummy!

  95. Your recipe sounds and looks great! Love the look of the Waverly paper products and would love to try them!!
